Again... What are they from? If they're JK wheels, they won't fit. They look too shallow to be TJ Rubi Moab wheels, but they may be Liberty wheels. If that's the case, it depends on which generation they came from.

JKs are 5x5. Here are some different adapaters I know about- still cheaper than a set of rims if you get them cheap- Will also push your tire out a bit (cant tell from your info/picture if you have a lift or not) and avoid rubbing with a larger tire.

There are many many more.

Are they 17" or 16"? If they are 16", they should bolt right up. If they came off of a JK, they should be 17", and they will not work without adapters like mentioned above.

I couldn't tell from the pics what the sidewall said.

I'm not sure if that was directed at me or the poster? You are correct, all JKs are 5 on 5. I also believe that every JK rubicon "moab" wheel (the style pictured) was a 17" wheel. If you find this style of wheel in a 16", it should be from a TJ, therefore, it should fit.
